Comment (by cypherpunks):

 wouldn't it make more sense to start using this feature instead of
 removing it?

 the proposal says:

 >I propose modifying the Tor consensus document to remove
 >digests of the latest versions of one or more package files, to
 >prevent software using Tor from determining its up-to-dateness, and
 >to hinder users wanting to verify that they are getting the correct
 >software.

 why would you want to hinder users wanting to verify that they are getting
 the correct software?!
